Belkyra
What is Belkyra?
Belkyra, known as Kybella in the U.S., is an advanced injectable treatment that works like a “double chin eliminator.” At our clinic, we use this top-quality product to permanently reduce unwanted fat beneath the chin, providing a more defined jawline without the need for surgery. It’s a safe and effective option for those looking to slim their profile with minimal downtime.
What to expect
With Belkyra, you can expect a series of quick injections directly under your chin, usually taking about 15-20 minutes. After treatment, it’s normal to experience some swelling, redness, or bruising in the area, which typically subsides within a few days. Results gradually appear over the next few weeks as your body breaks down and eliminates the treated fat cells, revealing a slimmer, more contoured jawline.
Are there Side Effects?
Belkyra treatments may cause mild discomfort, but we apply a topical numbing cream to ensure your comfort, particularly for sensitive skin. Common side effects include localized swelling that lasts a few days, with occasional bruising, redness, or itchiness.
